Method of making a carburetor

Abstract

A method of making a carburetor by first extruding a length of material and then cutting a carburetor body of predetermined length from the extrusion. The extrusion includes a passageway. A venturi member is molded of plastic material and inserted in the passageway. A fuel bowl is molded from plastic material and is secured to the body by means of a resilient clip.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method of making a carburetor comprising: forming an extrusion;   cutting a carburetor body of a predetermined length from said extrusion;   providing a fuel bowl;   securing said fuel bowl to said body; and   forming fluid passages in said body.   
     
     
       2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the passages in said body are machined therein. 
     
     
       3. The method according to claim 1 wherein said securing step comprises securing said fuel bowl to said body with a resilient clip. 
     
     
       4. The method according to claim 1 including the step of molding said fuel bowl from a plastic material. 
     
     
       5. The method according to claim 1 including the step of inserting a venturi member into said body. 
     
     
       6. The method according to claim 5 including the step of molding said venturi member from plastic material. 
     
     
       7. The method according to claim 6 including the step of molding channels in the outside surface of said venturi member whereby said channels form passageways with said body. 
     
     
       8. The method according to claim 1 wherein said body is extruded from aluminum. 
     
     
       9. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of extrusion comprises extruding said body of metal. 
     
     
       10. A method of making a carburetor comprising: forming an extrusion;   cutting a carburetor body of predetermined length from said extrusion;   forming fluid passages in said body;   molding a fuel bowl from a plastic material;   providing a resilient clip; and   securing said fuel bowl to said body with said resilient clip.   
     
     
       11. The method according to claim 10 including the step of inserting a venturi member into said body. 
     
     
       12. The method according to claim 10 including the steps of molding a venturi member from plastic material, and inserting said venturi member into said body. 
     
     
       13. The method according to claim 10 including the steps of molding a venturi member from plastic material, said venturi member including molded channels in its outside surface, and inserting said venturi member into said body whereby said channels form passageways with said body. 
     
     
       14. The method according to claim 10 wherein said body is extrided from aluminum. 
     
     
       15. The method according to claim 10 wherein the passages in said body are machined therein. 
     
     
       16. A method for making a carburetor comprising: forming an extrusion;   cutting a carburetor body of predetermined length from said extrusion;   providing a venturi member;   inserting said venturi member into a cavity in said body;   molding a fuel bowl from a plastic material;   providing a resilient clip means; and   securing said fuel bowl to said body with said resilient clip means.   
     
     
       17. The method according to claim 16 wherein the passages in said body are machined therein. 
     
     
       18. The method according to claim 16 including the step of molding said venturi member from plastic material. 
     
     
       19. The method according to claim 18 including the step of molding channels in the outside surface of said venturi member whereby said channels form passageways with said body. 
     
     
       20. The method according to claim 16 wherein said body is composed of aluminum.
